[Fig. XXXVIII.] illustrates this method of tying-up a 200 machine, using 192 hooks and needles, equal to 24 long rows of a regular 8-row deep machine. The machine is divided into two sections, as follows:
| Needles 1 to 96 for the 1st section or centre. | ||
| Needles 97 to 192 for the 2d section or the border. | ||
| 4 repeats of centre, | = 4 x 96 = 384 | ends. |
| 2 repeats of border, one for each side, | = 2 x 96 = 192 | ends. |
| ---- | ||
| 576 | ends in fabric, not including selvedge. | |
The drawing represents four divisions for the centre, hence four harness-cords for each leash. The border, having only two repeats in the fabric, will contain only two harness-cords to one leash. In the drawing the first full row of the machine is indicated, which is equal to the first row deep of every centre division; containing harness-cords 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. We also show (heavy line) the last centre leash, No. 96 being the last hook of row 12 of the machine. The borders A´ and A´´ are from the same design, but the figure runs in an opposite direction in each one, as indicated by the arrows in the comber-board above. Border A´ commences with harness-cord from leash 192, ending with harness-cord from leash 97, near the centre design. Border A´´ commences with harness-cord from leash 97, near the centre design, ending with harness-cord from leash 192 near the selvedge. The great difficulty to be overcome in arranging these patterns for the loom is in the union of the two tie-ups, the straight-through and the point.
As previously stated, the borders A´ and A´´ are made with the point tie-up, while the remainder of the borders are made with the straight-through tie-up. The combination of these two tie-ups occurs in the corner squares of the border, and the arrangement must be such as will permit the two sides of the corner patterns to properly unite with the design for the balance of the border.
Ground plan for above fabric: Letters A, C, D, B, F, correspond to same letters as used on the outside of fabric design. S, S´, S´´, S´´´, S´´´´, also correspond for centre division.
